I almost went there (XC trails) last weekend but wondered if it was ok with the place being closed. Their blues are like blacks so an ungroomed backcountryish experience seems appealing.

I hadn't seen anything posted on the trails where they cross Rte. 26 the past few weeks. I had heard that recreational access was part of the SPNHF deal, so I wonder how this will pan out in the future?
